Term Limits

Congressional term limits of 3 terms in the House and 2 terms in the Senate are needed to restore accountability and fix incentives that reward lawmakers for breaking their promises. The status quo in Washington discourages fiscal discipline by allowing members who fall in line with leadership to accrue more and more power. Strong term limits would break that cycle and disrupt incumbents’ ties with special interests.
